2001 Ford Cougar review from UK and Ireland
"An enjoyable long-distance runner"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing that required me to take the car back.
Very rarely the car would still be running for a few seconds even after key removed from ignition.
Traction control can kick in unexpectedly, which can be scary at speed.
Rear seats will not accommodate a child's car seat.
General comments?
Real head-turner, especially in black. There still aren't that many cougars out there, so novelty value is a bonus.
Quick off the mark and makes a great sound when you reach the higher revs in third gear.
Can be tricky to reverse park initially because it has a big rear-end. This does become easier with practice.
Rear seats can be a problem if you are taller than 5'8"
